  • Wychwood Park Wychwood Park Sits on a Height of Land That Was Once the Lake Iroquois Shore
    Wychwood Park Wychwood Park sits on a height of land that was once the Lake Iroquois shore. The source for Taddle Creek lies to the north and provides the water for the pond found in the centre of the Park. Today, Taddle Creek continues under Davenport Road at the base of the escarpment and flows like an underground snake towards the Gooderham and Worts site and into Lake Ontario. Access to this little known natural area of Toronto is by two entrances one at the south, where a gate prevents though traffic, and the other entrance at the north end, off Tyrell Avenue, which provides the regular vehicular entrance and exit. A pedestrian entrance is found between 77 and 81 Alcina Avenue. Wychwood Park was founded by Marmaduke Matthews and Alexander Jardine in the third quarter of the 19th century. In 1874, Matthews, a land- scape painter, built the first house in the Park (6 Wychwood Park) which he named “Wychwood,” after Wychwood Forest near his home in England. The second home in Wychwood Park, “Braemore,” was built by Jardine a few years later (No. 22). When the Park was formally established in 1891, the deed provided building standards and restrictions on use. For instance, no commercial activities were permitted, there were to be no row houses, and houses must cost not less than $3,000. By 1905, other artists were moving to the Park. Among the early occupants were the artist George A. Reid (Uplands Cottage at No. 81) and the architect Eden Smith (No. 5). Smith designed both 5 and 81, as well as a number of others, all in variations of the Arts and Crafts style promoted by C.F.A.

At the upper end the highlands approach one another forming a narrow i gorge clothed with heavy masses of the original forest.

"Close to the water's edge is a large mill surrounded by a number of small cottages over the chimneys of which rose the masts of flour barges; and on the bank above, in the midst of green lawn bounded by the forest is a neat white frame mansion commanding a fine view of this pretty spot. 11 The circular valley referred to is presumably the former Marsh 8, now part of King's Mill Park immediately downstream from Bloor Street, which was then used for pasture and cornfields.

  • Leaside Heritage Appreciation Event Fall 2012
    Leaside Heritage Appreciation Event Fall 2012 Objectives To inform, educate and plan to move forward as a community in order to protect the significant built heritage resources of Leaside. The run-up year to the Town of Leaside’s Centennial (April 23 2013) is an opportune time to start the conversation. Agenda The session would include the following elements: • The history of the growth and development of Leaside • The “character” of Leaside and the current planning, building demolition, and built heritage challenges • Lessons from other places (e.g. Mount Royal) • Alternative strategies such as Heritage Conservation District(s) and their implications (e.g. property values) Background Heritage preservation is not only about saving old (and sometimes not so old) buildings, rather it is about maintaining a unique quality of place, about enhancing the quality of life, and about supporting the cultural and economic vitality that accompanies areas with high conservation values (such as Wychwood Park, Rosedale, Cabbagetown). Leaside was a “model town”, planned in complete detail before a single building was erected – its 1912 street and lot plan was the work of landscape architect Frederick Todd, who designed Mount Royal in Montreal. When development got going in the 1930s and 40s Georgian and Tudor Revival styles were favoured by its developers, of whom the most well known is Henry Howard Talbot our home town developer-Mayor. In Leaside today there are several protected properties but except for the Talbot apartments on Bayview, they are nearly all from the estates of the late 19 th century, such as 262 Bessborough (the Elgie House).

    What’s Out There? Toronto - 1 - What’s Out There - Toronto The Guide The Purpose “Cultural Landscapes provide a sense of place and identity; they map our relationship with the land over time; and they are part of our national heritage and each of our lives” (TCLF). These landscapes are important to a city because they reveal the influence that humans have had on the natural environment in addition to how they continue to interact with these land- scapes. It is significant to learn about and understand the cultural landscapes of a city because they are part of the city’s history. The purpose of this What’s Out There Guide-Toronto is to identify and raise public awareness of significant landscapes within the City of Toron- to. This guide sets out the details of a variety of cultural landscapes that are located within the City and offers readers with key information pertaining to landscape types, styles, designers, and the history of landscape, including how it has changed overtime. It will also provide basic information about the different landscape, the location of the sites within the City, colourful pic- tures and maps so that readers can gain a solid understanding of the area. In addition to educating readers about the cultural landscapes that have helped shape the City of Toronto, this guide will encourage residents and visitors of the City to travel to and experience these unique locations. The What’s Out There guide for Toronto also serves as a reminder of the im- portance of the protection, enhancement and conservation of these cultural landscapes so that we can preserve the City’s rich history and diversity and enjoy these landscapes for decades to come.

    CHAPTER 7 SITE AND AREA SPECIFIC POLICIES Throughout the City are sites and areas that require policies that vary from one or more of the provisions of this Plan. These policies generally reflect unique historic conditions for approval that must be recognized for specific development sites, or provide a further layer of local policy direction for an area. In most cases, the site and area specific policies provide direction on land use. The Plan policies apply to these lands except where the site and area specific policies vary from the Plan.

Studies conducted throughout Europe, North America and Australasia have demonstrated the advantages and procedural barriers of successful adaptive reuse. This study explores the praxis of adaptive reuse in Toronto, Canada, through an analysis of three project case studies: the Distillery Historic District, the Don Valley Brick works, and Wychwood Barns. In addition to a review of site history and function, this study assesses the roles of stakeholders, the diversity and distribution of benefits, project inclusivity, and community impact.
